Hi I need a little advise, I went on the depo shot September 2012 and had my last one may 2014, I got my periods back the following month in June 2014 and had a normal 3-5 day cycle and the same in July 2014, in august I came on for 2 weeks, after a week of me coming off I started spotting and it's been like that since September 9th 2014, it's not everyday but it's a light brown or if pinkish colour, I took a pregnancy test but it came out negative but I'm getting pregnancy symptoms e.g tiredness, feeling queasy, hungry but not knowing what I want, going too the loo a lot more than usually and bad headaches. I was wondering if anyone has gone through the same as me or any advice? Thanks

Hi Aliiy and Welcome to EmpowHER!
It's possible that you've had a delayed response to being on Depo-Provera. According to the manufacturer, women using Depo-Provera frequently experience changes in menstrual bleeding patterns, including heavy flow, irregular flow, spotting, and unpredictable bleeding.
In terms of the symptoms you're experiencing right now, they sound like PMS symptoms, but PMS and pregnancy symptoms are often the same.You may want to wait a few days and take another pregnancy test.
If your symptoms get worse, such as your headache becoming severe, you should seek medical attention right away to determine the cause and get proper treatment.
Hope that's helpful,
Pam
